"It is very important to monitor your time outdoors in this extreme heat, especially for children and senior citizens," County Executive Leopold said. "For those who do not have access to air conditioning, we have made 10 locations available with cooling, public restrooms and water. Police stations will be open around the clock until further notice as cooling stations."

The centers will be activated through Wednesday pending further review of weather forecasts. Citizens can call 410-222-0600 with any questions.
